Gregg Bell joined The News Tribune in July 2014. Bell had been the director of writing for the University of Washington's athletic department for four years. He was the senior national sports writer in Seattle for The Associated Press from 2005-10, covering the Seahawks in their first Super Bowl season and beyond. He's also been The Sacramento Bee's beat writer on the Oakland Athletics and Raiders. The native of Steubenville, Ohio, is a 1993 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., and a 2000 graduate of the University of California, Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism.

Bummer he got robbed of that INT vs GB, that was one heckuva play. I was rooting for him, but talent being equal, youth wins out. Now please cut/trade Winston Guy, he’s as bad as Kurt Coleman if not worse IMO.

mocarob says ‘nope, I’m going to keep using RW3, even though many on this blog have expressed great displeasure at its use.’
Meh, personally, I don’t like it either. Too much like RG3. RW is his own man. Besides, RG3 just rolls off the tongue WAY better than ‘are double you three’. My $.02.

If you must use a “3” in a name, go with one of the most talented players in the league….Our very own, Earl Thomas or ET3. The 3 actually makes sense as he is third generation and has changed his jersey this season in honor of his grandfather. There is no RW3.

Blackmon had a solid camp with Seattle. I thought for sure he would make it through the first round of cuts with his play. Maybe the Hawks are giving him a better chance for another team to pick him up, by releasing him on the first cut down.

They also mentioned that the final 4 roster cutdowns to get to 75 could be made by simply carrying over 3 players on the preseason PUP list over to the regular season PUP, mentioning Harvin, Scruggs and Tharold Simon, and moving Toomer to the reg season reserve/non-football injury list…

“Chuck, you took that sentence completely out of context. Here’s the quote, for your source mind you, in context.

“The source who was informed of Harvin’s surgery said the Seahawks’ doctors believed Harvin could play through the injury, though the source said Harvin was experiencing pain even while walking and not just while going through football activities.

The source said Kelly, who is known to only suggest surgery when necessary, laid out a few scenarios for Harvin. In one of those scenarios, he could return to action in the near future, but need surgery later in the year anyway. In that case, Harvin would have been out through the end of the regular season and perhaps the postseason.

In the end, a collective decision was made to have surgery now, rather than risk making the injury worse by trying to play through it.”

It’s just a source anyways and not a fact, but this completely validates what I’ve been saying. Why would you want to risk him being out later in the season and postseason if he could be back by having surgery? And you’re making a huge assumption that he could’ve even played effectively with the injury. You don’t know that. I don’t know that.

“The source said Harvin will rehab in New York for two weeks before returning to Seattle to continue his rehab.”

There’s confirmation that it was decided he would rehab in NY for awhile before he even had surgery. Again from your source. It was reported other places as well.

“The source informed of Harvin’s surgery and condition said he was complaining of hip pain to the Seahawks as early as this spring during organized team activities. Had Harvin undergone surgery at that point, he might have been ready for the start of the season.”

This is from your source as well. It suggests that the Hawks doctors played this badly. I think you’re letting your previous dislike of Harvin overwhelm your critical thinking skills in this case. Look for truth, not just to justify your preconceived notions. No offense meant. We certainly all are overwhelmed by our own biases at times.”
